Chapter 164: The Name Is in the Heart, Not in the Mouth
Lu Chenshuang said bluntly: "Since Duke Lu has sent me an invitation and asked someone to send me 10,000 taels of gold notes, it is obvious that he really wants me to come out and see the doctor.
But now he is ignoring me. Is it because he doubts my medical skills or he thinks that the general in white cannot bear the blow of another failure?
After all, you said that even Master Mo couldn’t do anything about it.”
Lu Chenshuang said this bluntly.
Duke Lu's face turned blue and red, because Lu Chenshuang's words really hit the nail on the head.
Originally, he wanted to give face to the eldest princess. In addition, when he saw that Lu Chenshuang was so young, he felt that even if Lu Chenshuang had some medical skills, they would not be much better.
The Empress Dowager's eye disease was cured most likely by accident. Besides, his grandson's condition was much more serious than the Empress Dowager's, so it was not something that could be cured casually.
When the princess saw Lu Chenshuang speaking rudely to Duke Lu, she knew that she was angry.
So he quickly tried to comfort her, "Shuang'er, the Duke didn't mean that. He just failed too many times and was afraid that he would be disappointed if he couldn't cure the disease, so he became a little cold to you."
Lu Chenshuang was proud of her medical knowledge, so she did not give the princess face, but said, "To defeat the enemy without fighting is the greatest wisdom of a general.
But on the other hand, it is a shame for a soldier to be defeated without fighting.
Could it be that the Duke has to hand over the city to others just because he suffered a few defeats while leading his troops to war?
If that's the case, I'm afraid the Duke is not a qualified general."
Duke Lu was speechless after being confronted by Lu Chenshuang. He really didn't expect that Lu Chenshuang, a divorced woman, actually understood military tactics. Just when Duke Lu was about to speak, an indifferent voice came and said, "She is right.
If I had given up hope just because I had seen a few doctors, I would never have been able to stand up again in my life."
Lu Chenshuang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in black, about thirty-five or thirty-six, sitting in a wheelchair with a solemn expression on his face.
Similar, very similar. The first impression Lu Chenshuang had of him was that he looked very similar to Mu Hansu.
Of course, this likeness does not refer to the appearance, but the aura.
It's the feeling of being able to command thousands of troops.
It’s just that the person in front of him had a bit more deathly look on his face, while Mu Hansu had a bit more calmness on his face.
Lu Chenshuang knew that the person in front of him was probably the general in white.
Sure enough, when the princess saw him, she asked in surprise, "Lu Yan, are you willing to let Shuang'er treat you?"
Lu Yan rarely joked, "I heard that Divine Doctor Lu is very expensive, and we in the Duke of Lu's Mansion are not fools. Since we have already spent 10,000 taels of gold, why not treat him?
If I really can't cure it, I won't lose anything, but I'm afraid that it will tarnish the reputation of Dr. Lu."
Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "Reputation is an external thing. Saving the dying and the wounded and alleviating the suffering of patients is our duty as doctors.
Since you believe in me, I will definitely do my best. "
In fact, Lu Yan had been disappointed many times, so this time when he heard that his grandfather had hired a famous doctor to treat his legs, he was reluctant.
He originally wanted to tell his grandfather to let Lu Chenshuang and the princess leave, but after hearing what Lu Chenshuang said, he suddenly changed his mind.
The little girl in front of him had determination and confidence in her eyes, so why not try again?
Duke Lu became even more excited when he heard this, and his hands were shaking.
He was already in his twilight years, and all his seven sons had died in battle.
Lu Yan is his only grandson, even though he is disabled and has difficulty walking.
But with him around, their Lu family still has a trace of bloodline.
So even though he knew that his grandson was living in pain all these years, he still wanted his grandson to live.
He was afraid that Lu Chenshuang would bring hope to Lu Yan and then disappoint him, and that he would not be able to bear the blow, so he was cold to Lu Chenshuang.
I didn't expect Lu Yan to be able to think positively. This is the best thing.
Lu Yan glanced at the princess and said, "Thank you, Princess, for always keeping my affairs in mind."
The princess smiled when she heard this and said, "We are brothers, brothers who fought together on the battlefield, so you don't have to thank me."
The eldest princess' words "brothers" made Lu Yan's eyes red again. Perhaps he was thinking of the brothers at the border who would never come back.
However, he tried his best to suppress his emotions, looked at Lu Chenshuang and asked, "Dr. Lu, how do you want me to cooperate with you?"
Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "If the general doesn't mind, I'd like to give you a full body check first."
The word "General" made Lu Yan stunned again. It had been a long time since someone called him that.
It seemed like no one had called him that since he injured his leg eight years ago and couldn't stand up.
When he came to his senses, he murmured, "I am no longer the General of the Northern Expedition appointed by the Emperor. It is better for Doctor Lu not to call me that anymore."
Lu Chenshuang said nonchalantly: "The title is in the heart, not on the mouth. Yu Yuxiao, the white-robed general of the past, you must believe that you have always lived in the hearts of the people."
Lu Yan felt that he was once again moved by Lu Chenshuang's words.
He thought he had seen through life and death in the past few years, but Lu Chenshuang shattered the facts he had believed in with just a few words.
He still cares about himself and his image in the hearts of the people.
Next, Lu Chenshuang stopped talking nonsense and began to examine Lu Yan carefully.
And ask him some questions from time to time.
In fact, the results of the examination were quite good. After all, Lu Yan was a famous general on the battlefield, and his kung fu was naturally first-class.
Even though his lower limbs could no longer walk, his calf muscles had not atrophied because of his previous kung fu skills and the fact that someone often massaged his legs.
After Lu Chenshuang checked on her, Lu Yan looked at her and swallowed his saliva and said, "How is it?"
He didn't dare to ask if he could be treated. He just asked how it was. He was afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear.
Lu Chenshuang replied calmly: "It's not bad, there is still a cure. But after all, it will take too long, you may have to suffer a little."
Lu Chenshuang's words exploded in Lu Yan's ears like a thunderclap.
Duke Lu couldn't help but excitedly grabbed Lu Chenshuang's arm and asked, "Little girl, what did you just say? Can my grandson be cured? Can he really be cured?"
This old man was a very strong warrior when he was young. He grabbed Lu Chenshuang's arm with both hands as if he was afraid that she would run away, so Lu Chenshuang estimated that there was already a large bruise on her arm.
If she hadn't admired the old man as a hero defending his country, she would have taken action long ago.
Now Lu Chenshuang could only roll her eyes and say, “Old man, you hurt me.
If you use a little more force, my arm will be broken.
If my arm is disabled, your grandson's legs will be hopeless."
Upon hearing this, Duke Lu quickly let go of Lu Chenshuang's arm, and then looked at Lu Chenshuang somewhat awkwardly. He was just too excited.
